I think the only outcome that would've satisfied you here was the night king winning, by your angle here.

I wasn't expecting the Night King to win, I was just hoping for a battle with more consequences. And I didn't really have a problem with Arya being the one to kill the NK, it just seemed too easy. Personally I felt things were too rushed ever since that whole stupid plot to steal a wight to show Cersei, and I would have gotten rid of that plot point all together. Instead have one major battle at the wall with plenty of casualties, but the living are holding their own until the Night King kills a dragon then and resurrects it, destroying the wall and forcing a mass retreat to Winterfell. Next episode have a smaller, more focused battle around and in the castle with an ever shrinking circle protecting Bran, then you can have Arya killing NK. You have a feeling of true despair after the wall is lost and a few major characters die, which gives more weight to the final desperation battle, and fits better with the overall tone of the series
Again, I really don't have a problem with the story itself, it's just the execution. I felt that the first battle at the wall against the wildlings, Hardhome, and the Battle of the Bastards all had more weight to them than the last episode. And in Hardhome at least you got to see the white walkers be threatening, not standing around being useless
